Everyone is welcome to our services, and we are always delighted to see newcomers in any of our churches. We welcome members of other Christian churches to receive Holy Communion or, if you feel more comfortable, please come forward with the rest of the congregation to receive a blessing.
If you are unable to get to church, members of Church at Castle will visit you at home, and the Ministry Team will gladly arrange for Communion to be given at home to anyone who wishes it.

Learn how folk and fairy tales we may think of as quintessentially “British” or “European” hold echoes and origins across the world, with versions found in a myriad of non-Western cultures and traditions, including Afro-Caribbean Cinderellas and South African gingerbread men! Isy Mead has 13 years’ experience as Head of Learning in story-telling museums: she will explain how stories are as universal and timeless as humans themselves, and stand for the ways which we are all, across the world, connected.
This talk is part of the richly varied Autumn programme of the events held at St Augustine’s Church and Community Centre in Richmond Road and open to all. Entry is normally free, although a small charge or retiring collection may be held where requested by speakers or performers. A complimentary glass of wine or fruit juice, and nibbles, are served at most events. The full programme is supported by Richmond, Oxford and Windsor Roads’ Residents’ Associations, and Benson Area Residents’ Association, and compiled by St Augustine’s Church and can be downloaded HERE.
Join well-known local amateur railway photographer and Past President of the Cambridge University Railway Club (and Castle Street steward and organist) Brian Carter as he travels the length and breadth of Morocco by rail. The eleven-day visit was made in October 2023, and included a special train from Oujda southwards into the Sahara Desert, to the town of Bouárfa; this was over the last-remaining section of a planned railway to Timbuktu, only part of which was built.
Entry is free, refreshments will be served afterwards, and there will be the usual baskets for donations in aid of the hall floor renewal fund.
